Three steps to Accounts heaven

When a small business owner asks me should I be using a cloud based accounting package, the answer is always going to be YES, YES, YES. I have set up many small business owners up with a free cloud accounting package on their smart phone and asked them to try, in some cases for their own sanity. They come to me stressed by the paperwork, I show them one bit of the package to start them off and let them see just how easy it is to use. Most people never look back and end up loving it. Here are some of the reasons you need to try it. It will cost you nothing only time which you will get back tenfold.

Your VAT return will be calculated and you will file your return straight from the software. No logging into HMRC to file.
